Matchroom Boxing have announced the signing of 2022 Commonwealth Games silver medalist Taylor Bevan on a "long-term promotional deal".
The 23-year-old will make his debut at super middleweight on the Sunny Edwards-Galal Yafai undercard in Birmingham, England, on November 30.
Bevan said: "I'm really excited about joining Matchroom. I feel like I've been waiting to turn pro for a long time. It's something that since I started boxing, I've always wanted to do.
"I feel like now is the right time to turn pro because everything has fallen into place for me. The Olympic dream didn't work out for me this year. I had the option to wait for another four years and try and go to the Los Angeles Olympics but I just feel like I'm at a good age now. I can take my time in the pros and really build into it."
Bevan boxed for Wales for seven years and spent two and a half years as part of Team GB, winning multiple medals during what he estimates to be 100 amateur bouts.
He will be managed by Brian Peters and trained by two familiar faces: Former British and European welterweight champion, Colin Jones, and Sean McGoldrick.
"I've trained with the Wales team for about seven years so I trust them and I know they've got my best interests at heart," Bevan added. "I'm really looking forward to turning pro with them.
"I've got an exciting style; I'm come forward and aggressive with fast hands. I've got a bit of power as well - fans are going to love watching the fight."
Eddie Hearn stated: "I'm delighted to welcome Commonwealth Games silver medalist Taylor Bevan to the Matchroom Boxing team. Taylor joins us following a hugely successful stint in the amateurs with Team GB and Welsh Boxing."
